History
Early Bomakwodor
Before the kingdom was founded, the Dzuma people of southeastern Nkungu had many city-states throughout the area, though most of which were invaded and conquered by the Bosso Empire under Mbɔ̀lų̀ Akpàlą̀kɔwu II. After the collapse of the empire, these city-states began to reemerge and eventually form small confederations. Bomakwodor then was the largest of four states within a small confederation on the coast of eastern Nkungu. During the 33rd century CY, the legendary chief of the Bomakwodor city-state, Jaa Abodaleh Odzundileh, with his army – exonymously called the Okemforleh-nleh – had formed a large network of city-states from which he extorted tribute, therefore forming a large informal tribute empire.
Jaa Abodaleh's tribute empire, however, came to an end a decade later during the Bomakwodor Raid in 3352, wherein twelve of the many city-states subjugated under Jaa Abodaleh banded together to overthrow and assassinate him and pillage Bomakwodor. Shortly after the raid, the chiefs of these city-states all congregated in Ndzoh, deciding to unite as one constitutional elective kingdom under the name Deyinakor. Jaa Karakoroh Londekpor of Mbeteh was elected amongst themselves as the first king.
